First published in 1934, Indian Religion and Survival by Mrs. Rhys Davids explores the idea of survival across Indian religious thought, with particular attention to early Buddhism. Moving from pre-Buddhist beliefs to questions of continuity, responsibility, and the nature of the self, the book traces how survival before and beyond this life was understood and debated. Scholarly yet accessible, it offers a thoughtful survey of one of religion’s most enduring questions: what, if anything, survives death, and in what sense? This book is an important historical reference for scholars of Buddhism and religion.
